Judicial Procedure of the Christchurch Metropolitan Cricket Association (CMCA)
CMCA has two levels in this procedure that deal with breaches of the CMCA Code of Conduct, the basis of which lies in the New Zealand Cricket’s Code of Conduct. In addition, and sitting under this tier, is the Complaints/Disputes process.
The CMCA Code of Behaviour provides some behavioural guidelines for players in the local competitions. This is based on the Preamble of the Laws of Cricket, which refers to both the Spirit of Cricket and the Laws of Cricket as published by the Marleybone Cricket Club (MCC).
The CMCA Commissioners, who are independent from the clubs and schools, and are appointed by the Board, hear and decide on any breaches of the Code. In the first instance, complaints and disputes are dealt with by the CMCA but any complaint/dispute may be elevated to a hearing before the commissioners.
